The presents are bought, though not all wrapped. The lights, tree, and decorations are in place. We don't send Christmas cards -- just an Annual Report in January. Now it's time for the fun part -- making goodies.
I did rum balls and the first two batches of shortbread today. Tomorrow will be the rest of the shortbread and the Russian tea cakes. The day after a steamed pudding. Now the kitchen is warm and smells so good. It really is Christmas.
The Prince of Orange had an adventure last night. It is very cold -- freezing warnings on the 11 o'clock news -- and I went out through the garage to cover the azaleas. Apparently he snuck out as I came in, and he spent the night in a verrrry cold garage. I'm sure he thought he had found himself in Alaska. Alex was up first and heard a mournful cry from the door to the garage. Needless to say, Alex was very brave and saved our little pink nosed boy. Harry is quite grateful (Dads are such heroes) and hasn't tried to get out there once today.
He is just enjoying the cozy kitchen and the buttery smells.
